Keep Your Head Up lyrics

I spent my time watchin' the spaces that have grown between us.

And I cut my mind on second best

or the scars that come with the greeness.

And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in,

And I tried my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim.

Oh the darkness in which I swim.

I'm walkin' back down this mountain

With the strength of a turnin' tide

Oh the wind's so soft on my skin,

The sun so hard upon my side.

Oh lookin' out at this happiness,

I search for between the sheets.

Oh feelin' blind and realize,

All I was searchin' for was me.

Ooh all I was searchin' for was me.

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

No, no, no, no.

Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.

Oh my darlin' keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

Oh no no, keep your mind set in your ways, keep your hair,

Keep your hair long.

'Cause I'll always remember you the same,

Oh eyes are wild flowers, within demons of change.

I saw a friend of mine the other day,

And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.

Oh I said I had been away, and he knew,

Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.

And it felt so good to see his face,

Or the comfort invested in my soul.

Oh to feel the warmth of a smile,

When he said "I'm happy to have you home.

Ooh I'm happy to have you home."

And I showed my body to the sea again,

And I laughed at her for bein' so cruel.

And I left these broken bottles, and empty corridors.

And I walked right on through.

And I never, I never dream of you.

Oh honey I never, I never dream of you.

Yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Keep your mind set, keep you hair long.

Oh my my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong.

No no no, keep your mind set in your ways,

Keep your hair, keep your hair long.

'Cause I'll always remember you the same.

Oh eyes are wild flowers within demons of change.

May you find happiness there,

May all your hopes all turn out right.

Ooh may you find happiness there,

May you find warmth in the middle of the night.
